Ingredients
4 | sweet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced | 700 g | |
1 | onions, thinly sliced | 200 g | |
2 cloves | garlic, minced | ||
1 tbsp | canola oil | 15 mL | |
1 pinch | salt [optional] | 0.2 g | |
ground pepper to taste [optional] | |||
1/4 tsp | ground cinnamon | 1 g | |
1/4 cup | cashews, raw, soaked overnight and drained | 40 g | |
1/3 cup | nutritional yeast | 50 g | |
2/3 cup | unsweetened coconut milk | 170 mL | |
1 cup | soy beverage, unsweetened, fortified | 250 mL | |
3/4 tsp | dried oregano | 0.4 g |
Before you start
A food processor will be very useful to grind the cashews. Cashews need to be soaked 8 h, to form a creamy paste.
Method
- Preheat the oven to 205°C/400°F. Prepare the vegetables: Slice the onion into thin rounds; mince the garlic; peel the potatoes then cut them into thin slices, about 0,5 cm.
- Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat, then sauté the onion and garlic for about 7 min, until softened and fragrant. Stir in the cinnamon, season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a food processor, blend the cashews, nutritional yeast and a few tablespoons of the coconut milk. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 3 min.
- Layer the ingredients in an oven proof dish in the following order: Sweet potatoes, onion mixture, cashew cream. Repeat until the gratin has been assembled. In a bowl, mix the remaining coconut milk with the soy milk and oregano, then pour over the gratin.
- Cook in the middle of the oven until it is golden-coloured, about 30-35 min. For a nice crust, turn on the top broiler for the last 2 minutes.
- Let the gratin stand 10 min before cutting and serving it.
